Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 337: Facebook site

Although the data center strategic plan does not get the support of ordinary shareholders, Henry has absolute controlling rights in the company and is determined to do so!

On May 1, the "Williams Cloud" company was formally established in San Jose, California. Henry led the investment of 10 billion U.S. dollars. The remaining companies invested 10 billion U.S. dollars in total. The initial investment totaled 20 billion U.S. dollars. First, four data centers were built in the United States. 2 in Europe, 2 in Asia, 1 in Russia, and 1 in South America.

The name Williams Cloud Company makes other people look at it in the cloud, and don't understand what it means.

The official did not give an explanation.

Henry's plan is to tell everyone that after the completion of the construction, to provide them with cloud services, they will be able to feel that the data center is good!

It took months for the data center to start up, and Henry's eyes quietly turned to other places.

Facebook website corporate headquarters.

"Hello, Mr. Rowan, I am Alexander Charles, the representative of Goldman Sachs. Our company believes that Facebook has a certain potential for development, so we want to invest in it!" said a blond middle-aged man.

Rowan is a Chinese-American man in his thirties who serves as the CEO of Facebook.

Rowan directly refused: "Mr. Charles, I'm really sorry, the Facebook website currently has no financing plan!"

Charles sighed slightly, "Well, but if you need it, please remember to notify Goldman Sachs, this is my business card!"

With that, Charles handed Rowan a silver business card.

"Okay, thank you, if necessary, we will!" Rowan nodded.

As soon as Charles left, Rowan asked the secretary: "Who is next?"

"It's Mr. Ford Brook, the representative of Sequoia Capital."

"Well, please come in!"

After a while, Ford Brook walked into Rowan's office. The last thing that Ford Brook regrets in his life is that he once misunderstood and only invested in Cisco, not Henry! ! !

The style of venture capital investment. Some are looking at projects, some are looking at people. See if this person can develop, invest in him! Sequoia Capital originally had the best relationship with Henry. But the boat of friendship was overturned when it was said to have turned over, and Sequoia Capital did not enjoy a series of rich returns brought by Henry's rise all the way!

This investment in Facebook was also the first proposed by Ford Brook at Sequoia Capital. Late one night, Ford Brook suddenly found Facebook on the Internet. He immediately had an intuition that Facebook will be very popular in the future! Afterwards, Ford Brook was completely sleepy, wrote a report that night, and then responded to the company early the next morning to invest in Facebook!

"Hello. Mr. Ford Brook!" Rowan stretched out his hand. Said hello.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Rowan!" Ford Brook reached out and shook Rowan.

"Please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

At this time, the secretary gave Ford Brook a glass of water, and Rowan immediately asked: "Sequoia Capital also intends to invest?"

"Yes, that's right," Ford Brook nodded and smiled.

"Can you ask, is your valuation right?" Rowan said.

Ford Brook laughed and said: "Of course, since Sequoia Capital wants to invest, we will naturally value it before then!"

"What's the valuation of that?"

"Billion dollars!!!" Ford Brook smiled confidently.

Although the Internet bubble has already begun. But it didn't take long to start a business before Sequoia Capital was able to value US$100 million, which is extremely valuable!

However, the company is not short of money, and the owner behind the scenes is Henry Williams, he does not need anyone else to raise money!

Rowan has never worried about funding. Even if the other party offers a valuation of 100 million U.S. dollars, Rowan cannot agree to it. If he agrees, he has no authority to agree!

"I'm very sorry. Mr. Brook!" Rowan shook his head and said, "There is no shortage of funds at the moment, so there is no need for financing!"

Ford Brook said unwillingly: "We can also increase the valuation!"

"Can it be doubled?" Rowen said lightly.

Ford Brook's eyes widened, doubling, isn't it more than a billion dollars? ! A social networking site comparable to? Ford Brook shook his head and secretly said that this is impossible.

However, at the moment when he rejected it in his heart, he suddenly remembered what a teenager said to him a year ago: "Mr. Brook, I think Cisco's future market value will reach 100 million U.S. dollars!"

Although the years have passed, these words still remain in my ears...

Chen Jialuo's happy life

Today, Cisco's market value will soon exceed 100 million U.S. dollars. Obviously, 100 million U.S. dollars is not out of reach! ! !

"Mr. Brook? What's the matter with you suddenly start to be in a daze?" Rowan asked.

"I'm fine..." Ford Brook shook his head, and asked with a serious and serious expression, "Mr. Rowan, do you really think the market value can reach 100 million US dollars?"

Rowan shook his head in his heart, don't say you don't believe it, even I don't believe it, but the boss Henry Williams casually said that the future will be at least a billion-dollar company...

However, Rowan calmly said, "Anything is unpredictable, maybe it is, maybe it is not!"

Ford Brook nodded. If the "boy" was sitting opposite, he would never miss it again. Unfortunately, the "boy" sitting opposite was not! Ford Brooke said goodbye to Rowan.

It can't be done, he has several other goals!

A super powerful dark horse appeared in the year. In addition to websites, there are also YouTube, LinkedIn, and TripAdvisor.

Facebook is a social networking site that requires real-name registration. It is very well-known in major universities in the United States and has become a very fast-growing Internet company today! However, since investment cannot be made, Ford Brook can only express helplessness!

YouTube is also a new star in the Internet website. In addition to watching movies and TV works, the website can also upload your own video recordings. It is loved by netizens for a while. Every day, all kinds of funny videos are uploaded to YouTube. User traffic Quickly squeezed into the top 15 of Internet sites, attracting major venture capital institutions to rush to invest! Sequoia Capital is no exception. Ford Brook's next goal is!

LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals ~lightnovelpub.net~ and also provides job search services. It has become popular among white-collar workers.

TripAdvisor is a travel community, travel review site, you can check travel information on it, and you can also book flights and hotels online. With Henry's secret support, the TripAdvisor website has established cooperative relationships with many tourist attractions, hotels, and airlines offline. The website is rich in content and quickly spread across the Internet.

After Ford Brook walked out of the company, he couldn't help but look back and took a deep look...

"Drive, go to the company!"

"Okay, executive director!"
